Last week over 60 industry leaders gathered in Fond du Lac, WI to discuss the important issue of "Workers on the Top of Tanks", and more importantly, how our industry can join together to effect improvements in this area.

A challenge confronts our industry...tractor weights have grown by about 800 pounds as 2010 emission equipment is added to their drivelines. And so, once again, Brenner Tank took the initiative to offer our industry a balanced solution.

Walker Group Holdings LLC of New Lisbon Wisconsin, a portfolio company of Insight Equity, announced today that they have agreed in principal to purchase Brenner Tank LLC of Fond du Lac Wisconsin from Peterson Industries LLC.

Brenner Tank has introduced a next generation tank compliant with DOT 407 regulations, utilizing duplex stainless steels, and substantially reducing the total cost of new bulk tank trailers for their customers.
